Implications for Research: Research is needed to focus on amniotic fluid for interventions against GI disorders that plague premature neonates and neonates born with congenital GI anomalies.

Use of drugs to correct diarrhea or constipation is done depending on the specific case. Although such drugs might seem to be a logical choice, they are not beneficial in every situation. For example, diarrhea can actually be a defense mechanism for the animal, helping it to eliminate harmful organisms and their toxins. In addition, the available drugs may not always give consistent results.
Neonatal thromboembolic events, both arterial and venous, are rare but increasingly recognised problems in tertiary care neonatology. The pathophysiology of these events in the context of the neonatal haemostatic system and the importance of both inherited and acquired prothrombotic disorders remain poorly defined. Similarly, optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in this setting are.
Typically, an upper GI series is the first test; it may help diagnose reflux and also identify any anatomic GI disorders that cause regurgitation. Finding barium reflux into the mid or upper esophagus is much more significant than seeing reflux into only the distal esophagus. For infants with regurgitation hours after eating, who may have gastroparesis, a liquid gastric emptying scan may be.

Also called congenital aganglionic megacolon, it is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. The aganglionic segment may be limited to the rectosigmoid colon or extend proximally to involve the entire colon or small intestine. Diagnosis is suggested by abdominal films and contrast enema and confirmed by rectal biopsy. Colostomy is usually required, followed by definitive repair at 8.
Neonatal primary seizure disorders, epileptic syndromes, do occur, but at a very low frequency. The major etiologies of neonatal seizures include hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial hemorrhage, metabolic disturbances, intracranial infection, developmental defects, and drug withdrawal. The most common cause of neonatal seizures is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) brain injury.
